Three Kingdoms open plug-ins everywhere

Chapter 877 Raiding Jiangdong (2)

Boom boom boom.
Gan Ning also worked hard.

All artillery bombarded the left flank.

As soon as the enemy's warship came over, it was hit head-on.

A warship in the front row sank on the spot.

The warships behind were also driven back by the huge waves.

"Kill..." Taking advantage of this opportunity, the attacking ship troops launched a fierce attack.

Under the cover of Gan Ning, many soldiers boarded the enemy's deck.

Mix with enemy soldiers on deck.

Next, it's hand-to-hand combat.

Both sides abandoned their rifles in favor of broadswords.

Puff puff.
Gan Ning's vanguard troops had been prepared long ago, and each was equipped with a broadsword, which was most suitable for close combat.

Melee with the enemy.

There are definitely advantages.

Snapped!Snapped!
The enemy found that hand-to-hand combat was indeed no match for Chinese soldiers.They no longer cared about hurting their own people, and all shot with pistols at close range.

Although most of the bullets can hit the enemy.

But there are also some that hurt themselves.

But
This doesn't change anything.

Gan Ning's vanguard army, with more than 100 small boats, has completely overwhelmed them.More than [-] of them surrounded the enemy's vanguard warships.

All the soldiers, using iron chains to climb, quickly got on the deck.

"Look, general..."

Jiang Qin, Gan Ning's lieutenant, suddenly pointed to the distance: "The enemy's warship on the right seems to be running away?!"

"How could it be?" Gan Ning looked sharply, and sure enough, he saw five enemy ships and they were about to turn around.This made Gan Ning puzzled.Could it be that his attack just now scared the enemy troops?
But he didn't even send out the main force, and only allowed 2000 people to attack a little.How to scare the enemy away.

"No..." Gan Ning subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

He ordered several regiment leaders under him: "Listen, all of you. Immediately send out a patrol team to guard the surrounding area. If you find an enemy ship approaching, blow the horn."

"promise."

The group leaders didn't understand.

The enemy is on the opposite side, why should we guard the surroundings?
Time passes quickly.

Gan Ning's vanguard had captured an enemy ship.

The remaining hundreds of soldiers climbed onto the large fighting ship, drove the fighting ship, and walked back.

If there is no obstruction from the enemy, they will come back in the battleship soon.

but
Will the enemy watch helplessly, will his warship be taken away?

Obviously not.

They had three fighting ships, all with their guns set.

Seeing that the warship in front was captured, he immediately fired and bombed.

Boom boom boom.
Gan Ning, who was at the rear, was about to go to play on the large battleship, but he was startled by the sound of gunfire.I thought the battleship exploded.

After a closer look, it was discovered that the enemy was bombing the battleship.

Without saying a word, he sent an order to meet the enemy.

He sent four warships to go around from both sides.

Divide into two routes, north and south, and bomb towards the enemy's rear.

Boom
Water battles with hot weapons are actually artillery battles.

Whoever fires the most powerful guns will have the upper hand.

In terms of artillery, Gan Ning's navy is really inferior to the Western Shang Empire.Everyone has large-caliber heavy artillery, and the shells are inexhaustible.

As for Gan Ning, it was just some artillery that Guo Jia gave him, which had already been used a lot outside Fancheng.

Now here to join the battle, Tai Shici didn't give him any supplements.

Compared with the Western Shang Empire, it is really worse.

Boom
The two sides shelled for more than half an hour.

The large fighting ship opposite was sunk after dozens of shots.The soldiers above did not have time to escape, and all sank into the Yangtze River.

All of a sudden, half the regiment was killed or injured.

Including the soldiers lost before, there are as many as two regiments!
Gan Ning didn't dare to be careless.

He started with conservative tactics.

Order all troops to retreat.

Cover the wings with artillery.

Machine guns and mortars in the army.

woo woo woo.
At this moment, Gan Ning heard a sound of horns.

He immediately reacted, and said in surprise: "No, it must be the five enemy ships that left before, and they circled our flank. Our patrolling soldiers are warning."

"General, it seems to be to the east." A regiment leader said.

"Let you lead the headquarters to face this group of enemy troops." Gan Ning said.

"As ordered."

The head of the regiment also led five battleships to meet the enemy.

Of course, these five battleships were not all his soldiers.

Controlling the warships were Gan Ning's personal troops.

They are the best at water combat.

They must be led before they can drive a warship and fight against the enemy.

Clap la la.
The oars are moving, the water is rippling, and the speed is extremely fast.

About half an hour later.

Engage the enemy.

clap clap clap.
This time no artillery was used.

Both heavy and light machine guns are used.

Although it is not as powerful as artillery, it has a high attack density.

In addition, the surface of the river is unobstructed, and the bullets have a long range and strong penetrating power.

Facing the dense rain of bullets, all soldiers who participated in the battle did not dare to stand up.

As long as you show your head, you may be killed.

The warships of the two sides were 500 meters apart.At such a short distance, keep shooting.

the other side.

The battle at Gan Ning's place was almost over.

The main reason is that Gan Ning lacks ammunition and artillery.Now I'm holding on.If the fight continues and the enemy is heavily bombarded, his hundreds of ships may sink into the river.In order to avoid such a tragedy, he had no choice but to back away and distance himself from the enemy.And in this way, he will completely fall into a disadvantage in the contest with his opponent.

Gan Ning was really not reconciled.

He sent people back to Li Yang to ask for an order, and wanted to send more artillery.

"General, general..." At this moment, a soldier ran from behind.

"what's up?"

The soldier said: "Your Majesty sent over one hundred cannons and ten thousand rounds of shells, which have already been delivered to our rear."

"really?"

"Subordinates dare not lie."

"it is good!"

Gan Ning said excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise. With artillery, it will be difficult for the enemy to compete with me."

"Send the order to bring all the artillery over, so that the enemy will often feel like being bombed."

"promise."

The one hundred artillery pieces that had just been transported to the front line were transferred to the front line.

Under Gan Ning's command, attack the opposite side.

This is the second offense.

More firepower than before.

Boom boom boom.
A total of [-] shells were fired, and a hundred rounds were fired.

All hit the opposite enemy.

I saw that the enemy's warships were destroyed one by one, some sank, and some began to turn around.

Gan Ning did not want any of the enemy ships to escape.

Under the cover of artillery, he personally led the army and drove over from the right flank in an attempt to intercept the enemy's retreat.

at this time.

In Licheng.

Xu Ding half-lyed on the couch.

Sitting in front were Jia Xu, Lu Su, Tai Shici, and Zhang Liao.

Because Xu Ding closed his eyes, everyone thought that Xu Ding had fallen asleep.

"His Majesty?"

Jia Xu shouted.

"What's the matter?" Xu Ding opened his eyes.

Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "The soldiers of the three armies are ready to go, when can we set off?"

Xu Ding said, "It depends on Gan Ning's situation. If he can win, we can march anytime. If not, how can we cross the river?"

"So what do we do now?"

"Wait."

Xu Ding uttered a word and closed his eyes again.

Continue to use the satellite monitoring system to view the battlefield ahead.

When he saw the surface of the river again, he was extremely excited.

I saw that the enemy's ships were already retreating.Gan Ning led his army to intercept the enemy's retreat, and all his ministries were encircling the center, and they would soon be able to surround the enemy to death.

"it is good!"

Xu Ding suddenly opened his eyes and shouted loudly.

Jia Xu and Lu Su were taken aback.

"Your Majesty, you?" Lu Su was a little speechless, this shock almost caused a heart attack.

"Ahem..."

Xu Ding said nonsense: "I just had a dream. I dreamed that Gan Ning won a big victory. The enemy army was defeated. Send people to look ahead. If our army wins, we will cross the river immediately."

"Yes."

Zhang Liao responded and went to make arrangements.

Jia Xu laughed, "Your Majesty, it's just a dream, do you still take it seriously?"

"The so-called dream is often the reality. Sometimes, the reality turns into a dream, isn't it?" Xu Ding's words were somewhat profound.

Jia Xu said, "Your Majesty is right."

Xu Ding talked with Jia Xu, Lu Su and Tai Shici not long ago.

News from the front.

Gan Ning was indeed victorious.

A small half of the warships of the Western Shang Empire sank, and most of them were captured.More than [-] enemy soldiers were captured, and countless guns and shells of various types were captured.

This is really a big victory.

It is the most brilliant record since the battle with the navy of the Western Shang Empire.

Before the battle, Xu Ding boarded a large battleship.

"Your Majesty, the battleships manufactured by the Western Shang Empire are indeed much larger than ours. I don't know how to carry the weight. There must be something we can learn from." Gan Ning said.

"That's why I asked you to capture their warships."

Xu Ding entered the cabin.

The cabin is even bigger, like a huge warehouse, which can accommodate thousands of people.

Xu Ding had never seen such a big ship.

In modern times, he has only seen ships.But the ship is not so big.

In ancient times, seeing a warship of this size is absolutely amazing.

"Xingba, what have you gained from this water battle with the Western Shang Empire? What do you think is unique about the Western Shang Empire's navy?" Xu Ding also asked Gan Ning while watching the cabin.

Gan Ning replied: "If it weren't for the [-] shells sent by the lord, I'm afraid the last general will be defeated again. It can be seen that the Western Shang Empire has some talents in water warfare."

"At least, their artillery is stronger than ours."

Xu Ding said: "You told the truth. In fact, the skills of water warfare with hot weapons are not as good as those with cold weapons. The key to their victory lies in the artillery."

"The artillery is strong, and if it can sink the enemy ship, it will be easy to win."

"If the artillery is weak and cannot compete with the enemy, it will also fail."

"Yes."

Gan Ning had already figured this out.

No matter what military wizards or masters of war, they can't compare with the range of artillery.Whoever has the longest range and the strongest power is the winner.The weaker side, even if they try again, will find it difficult to win.

"Go back to Liyang first. We will cross the Yangtze River tomorrow." Xu Ding said.

"Follow the order."

The army returned to Liyang the same way.

in the account.

Xu Ding said: "Xingba, I have already discussed with Fengxiao and Wenhe, and I am going to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the navy. If you need anything, just mention it. After this battle, I will let Xi Zhicai supervise it." .”

"Your Majesty, are you serious?"

"You have no jokes!"

"Great." Gan Ning was so happy that he couldn't find Bei.

"In the end, we will need [-] new troops, build [-] warships, and five divisions' weapons, equipment and ammunition..." Gan Ning reported a lot of numbers as soon as he opened his mouth.

To put it bluntly, five divisions are needed.

Jia Xu said: "General Gan, are you going too far? How can our country have [-] troops?"

"You can conscript. Are there no young men in the Central Plains?" Gan Ning had heard Xi Zhi said earlier in the morning.Due to the Great War in the Central Plains, the common people in all states and counties were famous on the battlefield.

And because of the famine, a large number of people starved to death.

The troops that can be recruited now are really limited.

But
Gan Ning didn't believe it.

In such a big world, how can there be no people?

As long as the imperial decree is confirmed, within a few days, tens of thousands of soldiers will be recruited by the states and counties, and it is said to be very easy.

"This matter, I just mentioned it first, so that you can prepare in your heart. I promised you and gave five divisions. However, now is not the time to talk about this matter. Before forming these five divisions, you We have to bring Li Yang's [-] troops to Jiangdong. Are you sure?" Xu Ding asked.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the general will definitely complete the task." Gan Ning replied.

The next day.

early in the morning.

Gan Ning prepared enough warships.

There are more than [-] ships in total.

More than 300 of them are fishing boats looking nearby.

These fishing boats are not big enough to hold many soldiers.

But expensive in quantity.

Still can play a certain role.

The whole army set sail.

Move towards the opposite side of the Yangtze River.

In order to ensure the safety of Xu Ding, Jia Xu, and Lu Su, Gan Ning did not dare to be careless.He sent three troops as vanguard.The first troop, the scout army, had a total of ten small boats, one every 50 meters, lined up.

The second force is the Vanguard Army.There are twenty fighting ships and thirty warships, carrying the strength of three regiments.That is a trip.

Their mission is different from that of the Scout Army.

If you encounter an enemy army, you need to fight immediately to repel the enemy.

To put it bluntly, they are death squads.

In any case, always the first to appear.

Remove all obstacles for the army behind.

The third unit is the guard unit.

Their mission is to protect Xu Ding.

If the battle ahead doesn't go well, you can protect the senior officials of Huaxia Kingdom, and Xu Ding, to evacuate from the Yangtze River.

This can be seen.

Gan Ning attached great importance and caution to this battle.

He doesn't want any surprises.

Strive to win all battles.

The three troops are all about five miles apart.

Everything is within sight of the telescope.

Gan Ning was at the back, so he could clearly see what was going on at the front.to make timely adjustments.

Clap la la.
The fleet speeds up to sail more than [-] miles every half hour.Even Xu Ding didn't believe that the ordinary fishing boat just received could have such a speed.

"From here to Niudu City, there should be more than fifty miles?" Jia Xu asked.

"Ah."

Xu Ding kept staring at it and carefully studied the map.

After landing, they walked for a while and arrived at the first city in Jiangdong, Niudu.This was originally a water city, but now the drinking water has dried up, and it is no different from other cities.
